Jesse James Firearms Unlimited

Looks Like Jesse James is going from building bikes to building guns:

This week, celebrity fabricator and television personality, Jesse James hosted a launch party, unveiling his latest business endeavor: Jesse James Firearms Unlimited.

The man famous for the custom motorcycles he rolls out of West Coast Choppers, among other things, has decided to expand his machining talents to another passion of his—firearms. The premier lineup consists of a 1911 pistol and one AR-15 style rifle, including a uniquely shaped suppressor.

Here are the specs on the first offerings from JJFU:
Cisco 1911

.45 ACP
5″ barrel
fixed sights
ambi manual safeties
full length guide rod
steel frame and slide
stainless (with nitride components, such as safeties and trigger) or nitride finishes
skeletonized trigger and hammer

Fans of the STI 1911 pistols will find a lot to like about Jesse James’ Cisco. It starts its life as a STI and receives custom work through JJFU.
Nomad AR-15

JJFU flattop upper and lower receiver
JJFU muzzle brake
JJFU handguard (with full length upper and lower rails)
16″ Wilson Combat barrel, 1/8 twist
Magpul ACS stock
Magpul MOE+ grip
Geissele 3SG trigger
BCM medium latch charging handle
Rubber City Armory full melonite BCG

The rifle also includes a JJFU 30 round stainless steel magazine. One of the options for those willing to fill out a little NFA paperwork is a unique suppressor. The JJFU Aerosonic suppressor is shaped, according to James, to mimic the sound wave of a gun shot. The baffling within the suppressor and the suppressor’s shell “swells” in the middle.

the epitome of marketing to stupid idiots

 

[Shadowrider]

$3299 for an AR. Seems reminiscent of his $10K wheels. He needs to stick to bikes, he's actually good at that. Red Jacket part deux I guess.

 

[tran]

He is a joke. Yhis is just to fund his pockets and some dumba$$ will pay it.

 

[aviator41]

Anyone that would do this to a BAR needs to stay out of the firearms industry. (I know he didn't make it, but it was his awful idea)


Pegs the ridiculousness meter

It doesn't bother me at all. And obviously he's trying to make money at it. One doesn't go into business to lose money. JJFU, like Austin speed shop and WCC, are lifestyle companies. He didn't make all the money from the bikes and cars, it's from all the merch and accessories he sold. That's why there's no "products" on the website other than t-shirts and hats.

Same here. I hope he turns out a quality product and sells the hell out of 'em. Maybe he can make inroads with the Hollyweird crowd so they'll be a bit less anti-2A...

 

[tRidiot]

Meh.

That rail looks alot like a reversed Fortis Rev. And it has side slots, but not keymod holes. Odd, really.

Oh well, more power to him, but I don't see him getting any of my money.

And HATE the rollmark. Ugh.

That poor rail is obsolete before it hits the market. Slim, key mod is the next big thing in ARs IMO.


Plus that suppressor had better offer hollywood suppression performance for being that ugly.
